My first Easter Bento for this year 2015 and once again I dress up Hello Kitty as easter bunny ^_^ This round I make pink bunny costume for Hello Kitty and is pretty easy to make. Check out the picture layout that will show you the steps by steps since I can't take picture while making but I tried to draw out the layout using computer :p

Here is the closer look of my Easter Bunny Hello Kitty ^_^ I hope from the picture below you can understand how I create due to I don't have time to snap the tutorial. All you need is a cling wrap to wrap the rice. Before wrap the pink bunny, just mix cook rice with some sakura denbu. To make Hello Kitty face, make sure you press the rice flatten and join together with pink rice by wrap it together.

Opps.... I missed out adding two legs for easter bunny for the above picture =_=" Anyway, I'm sure is easy to understand. The paw nori, I use paw puncher. And the red bow crabstick, I use Hello Kitty ribbon cutter.

For side dishes have pea sprouts, minced beef with dark sweet sauce. I cut out some easter eggs make from egg sheet (yellow), edamame (green), crabstick (red/white). Punch out some nori shapes to decorate the easter eggs. The Hello Kitty basket is not edible but only for display ^_^ I just want to create a theme of Easter Bunny that Hello Kitty is searching for easter eggs :D Hope you like this idea.

Whenever my daughter requests to bring this thermos lunch box, I need to crack my head to design it =_=" Limited space to decorate.... all I can think of is make use of mashed potato to create Hello Kitty ^_^

First of all, I add the rice into the thermos and cover up with inari bean curd. Arrange broccoli along the side then shape Hello Kitty mashed potato. Freehand scissor cut out nori details and apple for red bow :) As for the pencil is just a decoration. Can't be eat :D Last minute add on to the bento for photo takings as I find it too plain. Lol!

At one of the container contains minced pork, quail eggs and sweet potato that I use cookie cutter to cut out the shapes. The red spots at the quail eggs is tomato ketchup. Before I add the ketchup, cut out a heart shape using cutter then fill in the ketchup.

Simple lunch bento for today that I just decorate my meat patties into Rilakkuma ^_^ I skip Korilakkuma due to the light colour because my patties are too dark for it. At least I have time to make Kiiroitori make from tamagoyaki :p And can you spot the missing part?

Here is the close up photo. I'm sure you can notice my mistake =_=" Is my Kiiroitori!!! I miss out two small dots at the carrot nose! Argh.... Well, by looking at the photo now, it seem that my Rilakkuma don't look like. Am I asking too much on perfection? Lol!

I don't follow any recipe for my meat patties. Just marinate minced meat with cornflour, soy sauce, fine garlic/onion, spring onion and dash of pepper. Before I pan-fried it (I prefer pan-fried instead of deep fried), roll the meat patties into the shape that you prefer then dip with egg and bread crumbs. Cook until golden brown.

To decorate into Rilakkuma, I cut out cheese for the nose, nori for details and button mushroom for ears.

For side dishes just pea sprouts, carrots, grapes and mandarin oranges. I hope you like this simple bento. Happy Wednesday!

Bought some Japanese Snow breads so I decided to make Hello Kitty Burger for her simple lunch ^_^

Here is the close up Hello Kitty burger. Freehand scissor cut out nori details and I add some mayonnaise before I stick onto the bread. Cut out strawberry as red bow and secure it with spaghetti. Ketchup for cheeks and nose make of egg.

Burger fillings contain egg, cheese, spam, lettuce and some mayonnaise. I add some grapes and strawberry Kitty for her desserts. Click HERE to view the youtube tutorial that I learned from :) But I use nori for Hello Kitty details instead of chocolate.

I hope you like today's simple Hello Kitty Burger bento. Have a nice day and thank you for reading.

Last weekend I brought my girl to watch Cinderella movie ^_^ Just the two of us! Felt so blessed to have a daughter to accompany me and leave my two men at home :D It was a nice movie and although we already knew the ending but still nice to watched at big screen! Before the movie start has a short Frozen Fever trailer. My girl can't wait for the Frozen 2!!! She was super thrilled :D Looks like I need to make one Frozen Bento for her soon....

Here's the close up of Cinderella ^_^ I just make a simple one and she's look chuuby. Lol! Mix some tomato ketchup for face/body/hands/glass shoe (suppose to use white rice for the glass shoe but don't want to waste the balance rice so let it be) Blue rice is mix with blue pea flower extract. Decorate with nori details. I don't have butterfly puncher so I use clover puncher and scissor cut it half to make it as butterflies for Cinderella dress.

For side dishes have quail eggs as rats, pea sprout, gyoza, and carrot as pumpkin :) I pack along some grapes at smaller container (not in the picture).
